Although technically here I&#8217;ll using loin steaks, the difference is negligible. A lot of the success of a delicious pork chop comes down to the preparation.<\/p>\n<h3>Preparing the pork chops<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Room Temp<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 I like bringing the pork close to room temp to help relax the meat before frying it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Patting Dry<\/strong> &#8211; This is optional, but drying the pork chops helps remove moisture and helps them caramelise more efficiently in the pan.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Seasoning<\/strong> &#8211; Be sure to heavily season the pork with salt and black pepper.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fat<\/strong> \u2013 If the strip of fat on the pork is quite thick, I recommend scoring it with a sharp knife to prevent the chops from curling up in the pan.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Cooking the pork chops<\/h3>\n<p>The main thing when cooking pork chops is <strong>forming a crust<\/strong>\u00a0on both sides to\u00a0<strong>develop flavour<\/strong>. It\u2019s also just as important to\u00a0<strong>rest the pork<\/strong>\u00a0after you\u2019ve cooked it. If you slice straight in the juices are all going to pour out. You\u2019ll also want to\u00a0<strong>sear the fat<\/strong>\u00a0to render out all that liquid gold!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"><em>Process shots: pat pork dry (photo 1), season (photo 2), add to hot pan (photo 3), fry both sides (photo 4), stack on top of each other (photo 5), flip and sear fat (photo 6).<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-23020 size-medium lazyload\" title=\"how to cook pork chops\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"6 step by step photos showing how to cook pork chops\" width=\"744\" height=\"930\" data-pin-description=\"These pork chops are drenched in an irresistible tarragon mushroom sauce!\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.2celebrate.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/how-to-cook-pork-chops-744x930-1.jpg\"><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>Creamy Tarragon Mushroom Sauce for Pork<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>I LOVE tarragon with pork. It also pairs so beautifully with both mushrooms and cream. Put it all together and it all just makes so much sense. The sauce is really simple to make, but there are a few ways you can really take it to the next level:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Mushrooms<\/strong> &#8211; Make sure you properly fry the mushrooms until they build up a nice golden crust. At first, they will soak in all the moisture from the pan, then they&#8217;ll steam and release it. Only after that can you properly start to properly sear the mushrooms.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fresh Tarragon<\/strong> &#8211; I highly recommend using fresh tarragon over dried.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dijon and Parmesan<\/strong> &#8211; These both not only help thicken the sauce, but they both also add an extra layer of flavour.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Resting Juices<\/strong> &#8211; Stir in the resting juices from the cooked pork to make sure no extra flavour goes to waste!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"><em>Process shots: melt butter (photo 1), add mushrooms (photo 2), fry (photo 3), fry garlic (photo 4), add chicken stock, cream, mustard, tarragon and parmesan (photo 5), stir and simmer until thickened then baste pork (photo 6).<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-23019 size-medium lazyload\" title=\"how to make creamy mushroom pork chops\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"6 step by step photos showing how to make creamy mushroom pork chops\" width=\"744\" height=\"930\" data-pin-description=\"These pork chops are drenched in an irresistible tarragon mushroom sauce!\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.2celebrate.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/how-to-make-creamy-mushroom-pork-chops-744x930-1.jpg\"><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>Creamy Tarragon Mushroom Pork FAQ<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><em>What does tarragon taste like?<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>It has a complex, liquorice-like flavour. It&#8217;s quite pungent, but it blends through a creamy mushroom sauce really delightfully.<\/p>\n<h3><em>What kind of mushrooms should I use?<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>I highly recommend small mushrooms like button mushrooms, just so they blend through the sauce with ease and top the pork nicely without overpowering the dish.<\/p>\n<h3><em>How do I make sure the pork doesn&#8217;t come out dry?<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>In general, you don\u2019t need to fry pork chops for as long as you think you do. Pork can have a blush of pink in the centre given it reaches 63C\/145F. So only fry it until <em>just<\/em> cooked, as it will continue cooking as it rests and when added back to the pan. Bringing the pork to room temp and resting once cooked will also help.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-23017 size-medium

Cooking times will depend on how thick the chops are. In general, they probably don&#8217;t need as long as you think. They&#8217;ll carry on cooking slightly as the rest and when added back to the pan. For reference, the safe internal temp for pork is 63C\/145F which is a blush of pink inside.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<p><span><strong>b) Tarragon<\/strong> &#8211; This is quite a strong herb, but I find 1 tbsp adds a good blast of flavour, without being too overpowering. If you&#8217;ve only got dried tarragon, general rule of thumb is 1 tsp dried herbs = 1 tbsp fresh herbs.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<p><span><strong>c) Sister recipe<\/strong>
